Recidivism Stat Tracking | |||||||||||||||||
I'd like to see a government-funded body whose task is to collect and maintain statistics regarding criminal recidivism on per-community, per-facility and per-crime basis. These statistics should be used to determine what policies, laws and behaviors are effective in preventing their target crimes, and in aiding rehabilitation of persons who commit them.

There are studies done for the DOJ, and the National Institute of Health is funding more. I think that there are not more because when you study the problem you see that prison does not stop recidivism, I think that only a good community and job based program, starting int he prison itself, could help the problem, but that would mean spending dollars on prisoners...
